Tool to extract single files from Wii .FSB containers? by ROBOverWii at 8:17 PM EST on November 6, 2008
I'm looking for a tool that would allow for the extraction single files from Wii .FSB containers? It seems one was posted by fastelbja in this thread:

http://www.hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showthread=9185&showpage=1

Along with a plugin for Winamp that would allow those files to be played, but both links have since gone down. Is there any chance that those could perhaps be re-uploaded, or a different tool to extract single files from Wii .FSB files be provided? Thanks in advance any and all help provided.

Unfortunately, although doing a search for "un_fsb_wii.zip" does return result, when you click on it, you get a "FILE NOT FOUND" error. Very annoying. Sorry I couldn't help there. As for in_cube, it's old, outdated, and hasn't been touched in months. What you want is VGMstream (this is the most recent version). VGMstream was created as a replacement for in_cube, and supports many more formats than in_cube does (though, it should also be noted that there's a few in_cube formats that haven't been implemented in VGMstream yet. Which ones those are I don't readily know).

Anyway, that's the information I can provide right now. Hopefully either you won't need the FSB extractor (VGMstream supports FSB), or someone will be able to help you out if you do. Mouser X over and out.

vgmstream only supports FSB containing single streams. If you need an extractor, aluigi's FSB Extractor might work.

Hey thanks for that tool. I managed to extract an archive from SVR 08. However I'm unable to play any of the resulting files, which happen to be .WAV files, using both in_cube and vgmstream. fsbext has an option ("-a") which adds a header to the files, but that fails to do the job too.

I presume the in_cube build found in the topic mentioned above has been modified in some way to correctly recognise the WAVs. I'm not able to decode them using in_cube v0.38 which was released quite some time after that modified version was posted. So I guess there's something missing in the current version of in_cube or the "un_fsb_wii" tool posted in the same topic changes the file extension to something more specific.

Anyways I uploaded the files for testing.

without header (original file)
with header (added using fsbext -a parameter)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that fsbext reports the files as "hw2d,GC_adpcm". The complete log can be viewed here if it's of any use.

Ok, that tool is of no use, sorry. Don't know of a better one that's handy, unless Fast's ADPCM Player can extract from FSB.

Would you mind posting that for me? I looked up google and had no luck.

Anyways I uploaded an archive to play around with.

Find it here, but I don't know if it is of any use in this situation.

Doesn't work, thanks for posting it though. Could you take a look at the file I posted?

Try this thing I just wrote: fsbii
It produces single-stream FSBs from a multi-stream FSB.
Note that you will have to rename the output files to .fsb, I use the file names in the archive which are I think for the original source files.

And here's fsbii 0.1 which appends .fsb to the file names. I foresaw this causing endless confusion.

Works flawlessly. Thanks a lot buddy. I appreciate all the hard work involved.

You should definitely make that tool available for download on your website, perhaps on the in_cube page.
